Donaldson Co. Inc. said it launched an improved medium-flow fuel filter with modular features. This filter is designed to be a cost-effective, bolt-on replacement to existing medium-flow filters.
The modular filter is a derivative product with a flexible design allowing the filter to satisfy a variety of cost needs and performance specifications, the company said. A single-base head assembly is used with the modular components, which include a water sensor, electrical heater, visual water bowl, manual priming pump, and life indicator (electronic or visual). Additionally, the filter can feature a Donaldson Twist&Drain valve, interchangeable between the clear plastic bowl and the spin-on, to reduce maintenance costs. The mix and match components of this product allow customers to build individualized filters.
Modular fuel products are able to utilize different fuel media technologies. Depending on customer requirements, the filter can use traditional silicone treated cellulose or synthetic media, featuring Synteq, one of Donaldson’s newest filter media technologies, which removes contaminants and emulsified water from the fuel stream with a multiple-layered media technology, providing engine fuel pumps and injectors a high level of protection, the company said.
